Legendary Adapting Stephen King Short Story 'Rest Stop'

Stephen King adaptations are popping up everywhere these days, and yet another one has been announced today, with Deadline reporting that King's short story Rest Stop is being developed for the big screen by Legendary Entertainment!

Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) will write and direct.

Described as a propulsive cat and mouse thriller, the plot follows the twisted journey of two women after a fateful encounter at a highway rest stop.

Rest Stop was first published in the December 2003 issue of Esquire Magazine.

Craig Flores (300, 300: Rise of an Empire) is producing through his Bread & Circuses label, while Alex Garcia and Ali Mendes will oversee the project for Legendary.
